Alzheimer’s: A Disease of the Brain or the Body?

Recently, I had the chance to take part in a conversation with world-renowned experts in the fields of nutrition and neurology as a part of the program “The Agenda with Steve Paikin.” This panel came together to discuss what can be done to protect our brain health as we age. Thanks to the diversity of our backgrounds, there was a wealth of valuable conversation to be had, focusing on how we could further improve brain health. I was able to speak about the tenets of Grain Brain, from exercise to nutrition, and how these all play a role in optimizing the state of our brain.

We all came at this topic from a different perspective, and I think that really benefited the dialogue. Find the time to watch, you won’t regret having done so. Jump to 8:00 for the start of my segment.

David Perlmutter is a meticulous, thoughtful explorer of new ways to bring healing to our nervous systems and our lives. Many of the people I refer to him are discovering practical ways to mitigate or reverse some of the most ominous prognoses.
